3 debuts. Embrace with the awesome Over, a song that at the time blew me away the first time I listened to it, such an epic track. At 16, Gary Allan debuts with What I'd Say, that I recently heard is a cover, but I don't know who sang it originally. The song is amazing. And the lowest debuts comes at 18, Sigur Rós with a song which video was so cool lol The two kids in the video end up kissing <3

20.- Rascal Flatts - I'm Moving On

Ahhh what a beautiful song Famous Blue Raincoat is. A cover of a song by Leonard Cohen. Anyway, Kevin Max debuts with his best song from his debut album, Existence, and it does pretty well, you'll see. At 19 debuts Live with Simple Creed, which was the lead single from their album V, and what a crappy single to choose!

19.- Westlife - When You're Looking Like That
20.- Robbie Williams - Eternity / Toxic (DEBUT)

Ok, I know it might look annoying, but let's face the facts, these double singles deal won't stop for a few months, so get used to it :P New entry, a double one by the way, by Robbie Williams. Two great songs, one, Eternity that I never knew if it was ever included on some album, or if only released as a radio single. Toxic, however was a b-side, an amazing one at that.

Who said Westlife didn't make upbeat songs?? jajaja well, it was hardly the norm, but they have a good amount of those songs under their belts. Also, Tori debuts with two songs that didn't make it very far, but not because they're bad, they're brilliant!

19.- Faith Hill - There You'll Be
20.- Eros Ramazzotti / Cher - Più Che Puoi (DEBUT)

Aaaaand there it goes. Björk dropped what was keeping her and got rid of Hidden Place, so now Verandi continued alone its course. Also, I wonder why Più Che Puoi wasn't a success, it had Cher who was en vogue and Eros had had pretty good success at the time, maybe we'll never know the reason.

Ahhh two debuts, and both of them proved to be short lived. All cool songs, lesser cool songs, but fate is fate, and they were doomed to not reach the top from this very moment they debuted :)

More Tori, this song was the first and only single from her amazing covers album Strange Little Girls. And Rascal Flatts also debut with a song they haven't been able to top. Maybe one day they'll become good again.

Ahhhh one of the most perfect covers Tori has done is Famous Blue Raincoat. The original by Leonard Cohen is a pretty song as well, but Tori OWNS this song now.

20.- PJ Harvey - The Dancer

Something funny happens in later weeks with the debut at 17 of Björk. Verandi is a brilliant song relegated to b-side status, while Hidden Place is an ok song released as the first single from Vespertine. DC Talk released a compilation of greater hits and they included the new song "Sugarcoat It". And Garth's song comes from his box set The Limited Series, the first one anyway.

20.- Tait - Alibi (DEBUT)

When DC Talk decided to disband, they released an EP, where each member contributed two solo songs (except Tait, who contributed them as a group called Tait). And after that, the three members released separated material. Kevin was and still is my favorite. And Tait, after their second album, disappeared from my radar. These debuting songs are amazing, and don't really share much musically with DC Talk.
